There can be a variety of causes for your symptoms.
GERD, an ulcer, or gastritis all should be considered. After being evaluated by a physician, a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole can be considered, or medications like Zantac or Pepcid.
Further evaluation can be done with an upper GI series or upper endoscopy to exclude an ulcer or inflammation of the upper digestive tract.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
